My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Good Morning!☀️
Here’s what I shared last year, October 9, 2023
“Hey, You! Yes… YOU! I’m rooting for you. You will win!”
Guess what? I am still rooting for you! Just consider me your personal cheerleader. Pom poms, bullhorn, confetti and all! I know you will achieve everything you set your mind to do. Now, KEEP GOING!! Remember, great things take time. You’ve got this!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Ha! I almost forgot to schedule my second post for the day.🤦🏽♀️
Sending you blessings. Tons… Loads… Showers of blessings.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Growth is a process. Nothing happens overnight. Be patient with yourself, and be patient and kind to those you see growing.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning!☀️
Always, always, always expect great things to happen.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
While reading one of my fellow bloggers’ posts—Wynne Leon (Surprised by Joy)—I saw this quote and it spoke to my soul. If you know me, just about everything speaks to my heart, soul, and/or spirit. Smile. Well, I felt this one. For me, it captures the way I feel about peace, joy, love, and freedom. Once you’ve tasted them, you’ll forever want more. It’s where I am in life, today; and I am so loving this space.♥️

When you wake up to a text from your daughter saying, “BTW, I meant to tell you I’m going [out of the country] today. Headed to the airport now. Here’s my flight information. I’ll be gone for a few days.”
What do you do?
I mean what else can you do but say, “Safe travels”, “Have fun!”, and “I love you!”
She is almost 30.
Of course, my mind went into military mode, and I sent her the government’s travel info about the country she’s traveling to and the Embassy’s information.
Then, I said a prayer to cover her.🙏🏽
She is grown and free to explore. I just wish she would’ve chosen somewhere I was somewhat familiar with. She dances to the beat of her own drums, and I love that about her. Also, she gets it honestly, so I can’t be mad at her. It’s not like I told my mom everything beforehand. However, unlike her, the military made me a little more wiser and a bit more cautious.
As I alluded to in my earlier post, I’m letting go of things I cannot control. She’s God’s child. He’s got her.
But y’all, I wasn’t ready for that. I wasn’t going to talk her out of going, but I would’ve asked a lot of questions.🤷🏽♀️
I can see my life as a mom with adult children is about to take me to a whole new level of motherhood. I can already see my son is ready to test being 21. He hasn’t done anything but I can feel it. This is definitely going to be interesting!
Now, I’m smiling because we’re all grown!! Wow!! I know I started off sounding a bit weary. However, the more I write the more I feel another level of freedom coming on. Again, we’re all grown!
Okay… I’m going to end here.
I guess you can say this is my first “random rambling” on this side of 50!
Y’all, why am I so excited?!!!
Okay… Bye!✌🏽

How would you like for your day to go?
How would you like for your life to flow?
You have the power to decide.
Make it happen!♥️ ~Shaun
Side Note: Last night I responded to a daily prompt/question, “What could you do more of?”, and my answer was “relax more.” Well, it just dawned on me that I actually have the power to do just that. If more relaxation time is what I desire, I need to make it happen. Period! Life is too short to continue wishing, wanting, and waiting, hoping things will just happen out of the blue. God’s given me the power to do it.
So, it’s done.🥰
Good Morning! Woke up this morning with this scripture playing over and over in my head.
Psalm 34:1—I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Continually…
Never ceasing…
Always…
God’s praise shall continually be in my mouth. Amen
I pray you have a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning! Here’s what I shared on September 22, 2019, five years ago.
When I tell you this one post has had me crying for a few minutes now. So many emotions about this memory, about this particular “purse note.” It was the very first of my notes. When I wrote it ten years ago, I was told to keep it near and to reference it often. That I would need it. I had no idea what that meant, but I was obedient.
Over the years, I began to read it less and less often. At one point I was reading it almost daily. At times, I questioned some of the things I had written inside (nothing juicy, just things only I would eventually understand). This year, I’ve only read it twice. The crazy part is, it has actually taken ten years for me to fully grasp what I wrote. Hence, the reason I’m crying.
As I wrote a few blogs ago (had no idea it would tie into this one), be obedient. God really does know the outcome. He sees and knows all. Yes, I’m pretty emotional behind this one. Y’all, I just can’t believe I have kept this note in my purse for 10 years!! I am blown away by my compliance, my belief, my obedience (over the years), my willingness to follow God’s word and allow Him to lead (took a minute…well, almost 10 years to get here). Talk about mind blowing!
Whew! I’m going to end here and leave you with this. You never know what you can do until you do it. Allow God to lead. You may not understand the assignment, and half of the time you may even think you’re crazy. Just do what He asks. As I wrote on the back of the note, “God blessings are better than life.” I used to cringe every time I read it without the apostrophe (God’s). However, today, I see it differently. God blessings—meaning the size of the blessings—are better than life.
That’s all I have for you now. I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed Sunday.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
I just love the gems I find in past journal entries. Here’s a snippet of what I wrote on September 21, 2017.
I’m listening to “Indescribable.” God’s so AMAZING. This is how I’m feeling. He loves me despite my mess or how many times I mess up.
On this particular day, after trying to do things on my own, and basically making matters worse, I had finally stopped and asked God for help. And, according to my entry, He worked everything out instantly, and it was better than what I was attempting to do myself. I had written that I didn’t know why I continued to do things on my own, and I heard God say it was because I didn’t believe He could or would do it. I had made mess after mess and then was too ashamed to ask Him for help. But despite how many times I made a mess of things, He so graciously and lovingly cleaned them up.
I am forever grateful God allowed me multiple opportunities to get things right. Because, y’all, in some areas I kept failing the test. However, He didn’t give up on me. Sitting here in tears because the following year, after passing multiple tests, I began to see the fruits of my obedience and willingness to allow Him to lead. Whew!
Listen, Indescribable, that’s Who He is!
As Kierra Sheard sings (Indescribable)—
Indescribable, uncontainable You place the stars in the sky and You know them by name, You are amazing God. All powerful, untamable, awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim, You are amazing God.
Y’all, He’s so amazing!
Be Blessed♥️
